Met with my neuro today. He wants me to do as much exercise as possible. 4x a week was his recommendation. He also suggested taking an aspirin before a workout to keep body temp under control. Just wondering what dose ppl with ms should take? Iím 6ft and about 215lbs.

Hey GS, I take a fair bit of aspirin or generic extra strength excedrin, although generally after exercise, not before. I do the maximum recommended dose of two 325 MG pills, which seems to take the edge off. Because both the aspirin and the excedrin will bother my stomach if I take them too consistently, I alternate with ibuprofen. Even so, I try not to take NSAIDS more than 2 or 3 times a week.

Hey- took 2 aspirin last time at gym 1/2 hr before treadmill workout. BIG TIME difference! I jogged, walked for 25 minutes- almost 200 cal burned. I had lots of energy, lots of balance, and never tripped over my feet once! Iím def going to continue, but only during workouts like cardio where there is sweat, heat increase
